Description
La Mancha Rubinito CM/59 Classical Guitar
The La Mancha Rubinito CM/59 is a 3/4 concert classical guitar built for serious students and intermediate players who demand responsive playability and genuine classical tone. The compact 590mm scale length and 49mm nut width deliver comfortable fretting without sacrificing projection or resonance—ideal for players developing advanced technique or those preferring a more natural hand position. The natural satin open pore finish reveals the wood's character while remaining resilient to the wear of regular rehearsals and live work.
Tone & Construction
Built with a solid Canadian cedar top paired with mahogany back and sides, this guitar speaks with the warmth and sustain that defines quality classical construction. The Ovangkol fingerboard and bridge provide stability and articulate string clarity across all registers, while Nubone nut and saddle ensure consistent, reliable string response night after night. The guitar ships with Savarez Cantiga High Tension 510AJ strings, a professional-grade setup that reflects serious gigging capability from day one.
Playability & Live Reliability
The Nato neck holds its stability through venue climate changes and extended playing sessions, and the 18-fret design provides the practical range needed for classical and fingerstyle repertoire. Nickel-plated machine heads with black buttons deliver smooth, accurate tuning that stays locked during performance. Black ABS bindings protect the body edges through the bumps of gigging while adding visual definition to the instrument's profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for beginners, or is it really for intermediate players?
The Rubinito CM/59 works well for both beginners and intermediate players. The 3/4 concert size and 49mm nut width make it accessible for younger students and adults developing technique, while the solid cedar top and professional construction deliver the tonal quality that intermediate players expect as their skills advance.
What is the scale length and neck width, and how do they affect playability?
The guitar features a 590mm scale length and 49mm nut width—both compact dimensions that balance accessibility with authentic classical voice. The narrower neck profile reduces hand fatigue and makes chord transitions easier, making it particularly suited to players with smaller hands or those preferring a closer string spacing.
What woods are used, and how do they affect the tone?
The solid Canadian cedar top pairs with mahogany back and sides to deliver the warm, resonant character classic to quality nylon-string guitars. Cedar provides clarity and open response, while mahogany contributes warmth and sustain, creating balanced mids and the articulate fingerstyle tone the instrument is designed for.
Does it come ready to play out of the box?
Yes—the Rubinito ships strung with professional-grade Savarez Cantiga High Tension 510AJ strings, an EGTA-recommended setup that reflects the instrument's serious construction quality. It is ready to play without additional string or setup investment.
How does this compare to models like the Yamaha C40 or Cordoba Protege?
The Rubinito CM/59 competes directly with entry-to-intermediate classical guitars in its price tier. It distinguishes itself through solid cedar construction (rather than laminate on budget models) and professional Savarez strings included, delivering more tonal depth and stability than comparably priced alternatives while maintaining the manageable 3/4 size.
